The plant that I ship is about 2-3 feet tall.

Philodendron Goeldii care is an easy Philodendron to grow and care for. If you need a compact houseplant that’s unique, a Philodendron Goeldii plant may be for you.

To give this Philodendron plant the best care, it requires well-draining soil that is rich in nutrients, allow the soil to dry out before watering, provide it with bright indirect sunlight, temperatures ranging from 50-85F, and high humidity levels.

Philodendron Goeldii Care

This easy-to-care for plant is perfect for beginners and will bring a tropical touch to the home. 

Philodendron Goeldii Soil

The best Philodendron Goeldii soil is a well-draining, rich soil mix such as a commercial potting mix with incorporations of compost, bark, and peat moss or coco coir.

Philodendron Goeldii Fertilizer

Philodendron Goeldii will benefit from a monthly feeding from a balanced liquid fertilizer indicated for houseplants during the warm growing season of spring and summer. Do not fertilize your plant in the fall and winter during the plant’s dormancy. Ensure that you do not overfertilize, as this may cause excessive salt buildup in the soil causing the plant to experience chemical burn. 

Philodendron Goeldii Watering

Philodendron Goeldii likes to remain consistently moist but not oversaturated. You will likely need to water your Philodendron twice a week, depending on growing conditions. Watering frequency should be reduced in the fall and winter. Allow your plant to dry out completely in winter before rewatering. Do not let your plant sit within standing water within the plant’s tray. 

Philodendron Goeldii Light Requirements

Philodendron Goeldii likes to be kept in bright indirect light. You should not expose this plant to direct sunlight, as it may quickly lead to severe leaf scorching. Compared to other indoor tropical houseplants, Philodendron Goeldii can tolerate lower light conditions. However, too little light may cause the plant to become stunted and leggy.

Philodendron Goeldii Temperature & Humidity

Being a tropical plant, Philodendron Goeldii likes to be kept in warm, humid environments, between 50 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. To be happy, Philodendron Goeldii also requires a high humidity level. Being grown in higher humidity levels will lead to larger leaf growth. You may increase the humidity in your home by adding a humidifier or pebble trays. As this plant requires high humidity, it is suggested to provide it with air circulation to prevent fungal diseases and root rot. 

Repotting Philodendron Goeldii

As Philodendron Goeldii is sensitive to repotting and likes to remain somewhat rootbound, you should only repot it every 2-3 years or whenever the plant has visibly outgrown the pot. Select a container 1-2 inches larger than the previous container, repot your plant, refresh the soil, tamp lightly, water thoroughly, and place in indirect light. 

Philodendron Goeldii Maintenance & Pruning

As Philodendron Goeldii remains compact, it will not need frequent pruning. However, you may prune periodically using clean, sharp shears to remove any dead, discolored, or diseased foliage or to maintain its shape.

The pot is not included. Root ball of the plant comes in a plastic poly bag, sealed to maintain moisture for the 3 days that the plant is in transit.

Height of the plants is measured from the base of the root ball.

Fertilizer that I include as an option is an excellent choice for professional growers or nurseries if you grow plant in a pot. I personally use it for all my plants. It has polymer coating to allow slow release during 8-9 months evenly. You don't have to worry about repotting the plant for about 1 year or worry about burning plant with your regular over the counter fertilizer. You need about 3-4oz per 3 gal pot or 4-5oz per 5 gal pot.
